Undoubtedly Boxing as a whole is in dire need of reform.Seems like this bill has been in the pipeline for many years now.I dont specifically see eye to eye with McCain politically but he is a big boxing fan.I believe he had bi-partisan support and some big co sponsors for this,can not recall the Representatives.
A unified Commission...absolutley danm straight.I am rarely if ever enthused when the Federal Government wants to insert itself and micro manage everyday Americans.The less is best I believe BUT its undeniable that this sport can not regulate and clean up its own house.The ones constantly on the short end are the fighters that risk their lives every time that bells rings.Who is it that stands for the fighter in the end??His trainer?The State Commissions ?(Haa),the promoters looking to fill seats and...well promote a show?The fans?Try as we might,we can not feed the family or insure a fair shake for them.
I'm not clear on the details of this one,ALOT has to be hashed out and read over.I believe through much haggling and admendment...compromise...it could be a step in the right direction.With a very watchful eye mind you.In all honestly though,with the current state of affairs nationally and worldwide...Its at the very bottom on the list of priority's I believe.
